<span style="">In this book, John O’Regan examines the role of political economy in the worldwide spread of English and traces the origins and development of the dominance of English to the endless accumulation of capital in a capitalist world-system.</span></p>

<p class="x_MsoListParagraph" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 36pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span style="">O’Regan combines Marxist perspectives of capital accumulation with world-systems analysis, international political economy, and studies of imperialism and empire to present a historical account of the ‘free riding’ of English upon the global
capital networks of the capitalist world-system. Relevant disciplinary perspectives on global English are examined in this light, including superdiversity, translanguaging, translingual practice, trans-spatiality, language commodification, World Englishes
and English as a Lingua Franca. <i>Global English and Political Economy</i> presents an original historical interpretation of the global ascent of English, while also raising important theoretical and practical questions for perspectives which suggest that
the time of the traditional models of English is past.</span></p>
